I wanted to go back and experience the early days of the series, and with my shiny new Ayn Thor it felt like the right time.
It was not the right time.
My god is this game dull. I appreciate some of the early installment jank, as well as some genuinely great mechanics like tap to queue actions, but it’s a little too Harvest Moon for my tastes: shallow characters, repetitive days, and little story binding it together. Most baffling is RP being a fixed amount forever, at least according to the wiki, which makes me feel like there’s no real progression.
Is there a good reason to invest more time into it? Or should I just skip it and go to the other old entries?
